He's an inspiring instructor at Lifetime Lakeshore in Irvine, California.

So Isaiah continues to inspire his community with his energy, his expertise and his passion for results. So Isaiah, welcome to group X appeal.

Isaiah Bull (01:31)
Yeah.

Hello, hello. Thank you guys for having me. Grateful to be here.

Kimberly/terry (01:53)
Yeah, thank you.

Thanks for being here. Really appreciate it. So we've got a few questions for you. You ready for the first one? All right. So we just would love to hear a little bit more about you. Take us back. How did you get started as a leader in fitness and you know, what made you love it?

Isaiah Bull (02:00)
Do it. Yep.

That's a great question. So for me, it started when I was about 16 or 15 years old. ⁓ Super out of shape, was overweight, fat kid, used to get picked on. ⁓ And yeah, so I just knew that at that point in my life that the only way that something would change was if I made changes. ⁓ I actually had no idea what I was doing. And so I started going to my neighborhood gym. ⁓ And yeah, I had a friend whose mom owned a

It was like a detoxing or like a Arbonne. That's what it was. She was like a, she was a ambassador for Arbonne. And she had me try like this protein powder, just like weight loss protein powder for 30 days. And so yeah, I did that and mixed it with the gym and I had no idea what I was doing, but it started to work. And I think, yeah, once you start seeing results, it becomes addicting. So I think that's where it all really started. And then.

Kimberly/terry (02:45)
Okay, yeah.

Isaiah Bull (03:09)
That's when I learned, yeah, it's actually a lot easier than people think. And it's as simple as just having self-belief. And so from then on, when I played college football at OCC, I had a bunch of teammates who, they would always ask me questions just about fitness, like how to get bigger, what should I be eating? And I was like, hey, I could actually help with that. And so, yeah, I started helping them. then, yeah, it just kind of led to the next person. And then that's when I realized I had a passion.

Like I always knew I had a passion to help people, but I think now I knew I had something that I could actually give and contribute. ⁓ and so, yeah, that's where it started. And then I started personal training and yeah, it's been about five years now. ⁓ and yeah, so here we are. And so, yeah, I would say it all, it all started with myself though. It started with my own, ⁓ my own journey of just, overcoming and just figuring out and just how to, you know, ⁓ find a way, ⁓ just to be better.

And yeah, it all started just with a desire and a will. And here we are. Yeah.

Kimberly/terry (04:11)
Incredible.

And I can say from my personal experience having the pleasure of taking your class that it's obvious you love what you do, but why do you love it?

Isaiah Bull (04:23)
Thank you. ⁓

I just always, I've believed that I'm called to help people. ⁓ I get a very fun, disfulfilling feeling when I help people and just empower them. I think that's, it's one of the most rewarding things when you just see someone do something that ⁓ maybe they don't think that they can do or even just, you know, encouraging someone and just seeing how they respond and them just being like, wow, like, thanks for doing that. You know, and it's, you see that a little goes a long way.

⁓ And yeah, I think that's what we're all here to do. All of us have different gifts of different sorts and I believe that those gifts are meant to just contribute to each other and help build each other up. And I feel like, yeah, this is my way to contribute and help the people around me.

Kimberly/terry (05:07)
I love that. And I love that. Of course he used one of my, my heart trigger words, empower. Yes. I think that every time someone uses the word empower on this podcast, something like something should happen. should be like confetti that comes up on the screen or something like that. We'll add that, that feature. just love it so much. is because you're, not doing it for them, but you're believing enough in them and giving them the knowledge and the tools empowering them. the

Isaiah Bull (05:13)
Yeah! ⁓

Right.

To strong word, to strong, it's a strong word. It's a very strong word, right.

Kimberly/terry (05:36)
they can do it for themselves and that's what it's all about and you're so good at that.

Isaiah Bull (05:36)
Right, right. And that's

the biggest thing is how you just, I like how you said that, is you're teaching them to do it for themselves, right? Like I think a lot of people don't believe in themselves enough to know like, hey, I can actually do this, right? And so when you're able to teach them or show them, no, you really can. It changes everything. It changes the way they walk into a room. It changes the way they have conversations.

It's like a whole ship, the whole way that they look at themselves changes. And I think, yeah, that's such a strong, like that word, empowerment, empowering, empower, it's just such a strong word. And yeah, yeah.

Kimberly/terry (06:18)
Well, you embody it my friend. Fantastic. And what would you say Isaiah? What's one? I'm sure you have several by now, but what's one unforgettable moment that you can share from teaching or training like a goosebump story, maybe like a hilarious mishap or maybe that time a participant completely changed your perspective. I can't wait to see what direction he's going to go here.

Isaiah Bull (06:20)
Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate that.

Okay, yeah, this is probably not the direction you guys are thinking.

⁓ This is kind of a weird one. It was actually really interesting. I've never like I've never experienced this before in my life. But during one of my classes, I had an older woman. She's probably like maybe mid 50s. Yeah, somebody I know I know I I look I know I know I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Older than me old not old, not old, but older than me. ⁓

Kimberly/terry (07:02)
Hey, careful. Just probably like 52. Watch it.

to

this crusty lady 52.

We could cut that out, right?

In my head, I'm like, he better say 70. He better say 70.

Isaiah Bull (07:28)
Um, no, she, like, she was older than me, but, um, so we were doing, I think she was doing like, uh, jump squats or something. And she had given birth maybe like a year before. like, yeah, was just her body's going through a lot. Um, but she ended up peeing on herself and it was like, it wasn't like a big deal. Like no one really noticed. I just kind of like happened to notice while she was, you know, while she was doing her jump squats and like her whole leg was like covered.

Kimberly/terry (07:29)
Okay. Yes.

Uh-huh.

Hmm.

Isaiah Bull (07:58)
And I was like, God dang, like I'm not going to expose her anything. And so I'm thinking like, okay, maybe she's just going to like, like she obviously knows. So I'm like, maybe she's just going to leave or like, you know, kind of go do her thing. Dude, she like finished the whole class and like just stayed there, like did everything. ⁓ so for me, like there was a couple, like it was funny, but at the same time, like I actually really thought it was cool how she really didn't care. Like for her, like, cause that's such a, that's like a, that's a very vulnerable place to be. ⁓

Kimberly/terry (08:11)
Wow.

Mm-hmm.

Isaiah Bull (08:28)
Especially at a place like Live Time, know, and it's a big class. At the time, before we had the Alpha studio, we were in front of the whole gym, in the center of the whole gym, so everybody could see you. And she left. She didn't say anything about it, it was just super cool and just kept working. it kind of was like a, yeah, it was actually kind of, it was something that was funny, but turned into something that was kind of inspiring. And it was just like an ego death, you know?

Kimberly/terry (08:45)
That's dedication.

Isaiah Bull (08:55)
Like my goals are more important than how I feel and what other people might think about me. Um, and it wasn't like there was like a puddle on the floor or anything, but you could clearly see like she peed on herself, you know? And I was kind of like, dang, how do I handle this? Um, I didn't call her out or anything. No, I just let her do her thing. But I thought it was really cool actually that she stuck it out. Um, and it finished the workout, but yeah, that was a def like definitely an odd, odd experience, something I probably would never forget. Um, yeah.

Kimberly/terry (09:04)
Right.

And there'll be more, trust

me. Yes, no, anymore. Come to Kimberly's class. She does it all the time. You know how those women in their 50s are. Those old women.

Isaiah Bull (09:25)
Hopefully, not like that. ⁓ great. Wonderful. Wonderful. So it is. All right.

Kimberly/terry (09:36)
No burpees over here!

Isaiah Bull (09:38)
No, but I gotta give her grace because she just had a kid too and I'm like, she's, you know, she's trying her best. So I'm like, I can't imagine.

Kimberly/terry (09:43)
my gosh. I am both inspired

and impressed by whoever this woman was because I think that's amazing. So many people would have just let their, to your point of the ego death, so many people would have let their ego take over and run out and probably never come back again. And my guess is she finished that class, did her best and she was back.

Isaiah Bull (09:49)
Yeah.

Right. Right.

Right, right.

Right? 100%. I still see her to the day. I still see her at the gym all the time. yeah. Oh yeah.

Kimberly/terry (10:04)
That's dedication. That's great. What a great story. So thank you for sharing that.

Yeah, that took a turn, but a turn for the inspired direction. I love it. Barely. We barely run.

Isaiah Bull (10:12)
Yeah.

Yeah, we still brought it back. We still brought it back. Yeah.

Kimberly/terry (10:23)
So after we've clarified that 50s not old, good. 52 is that just older, older, we'll say oldish. There we go. ish. So, so speaking of inspiration, we'd love to know how do you stay inspired to continue leading with a kind of, kind of passion and intention that you have?

Isaiah Bull (10:26)
It's not only older than me. I'm younger than 50. That's all. That's all I was trying to say. Yeah. A little bit of seasoning. Just a little bit.

You know what? ⁓ Honestly, so I think for me it starts with a burden. ⁓ I think I see, you know, just a lot of brokenness around me. I see a lot of people that kind of like I was talking about earlier who just don't believe in themselves. ⁓ And so I feel like, yeah, if you've been given a gift, ⁓ you know, to bless others, that's, that should inspire you to give that to other people. And I think, yeah, that's what it is for me is just constantly seeing who I used to be.

Kimberly/terry (11:15)
Mmm.

Isaiah Bull (11:15)
⁓

and people around me and knowing that I have the ability to affect that and to change that. That's like my inspiration. ⁓ I think also too, know, just like one day I want to have a kid and yeah, like I just, want my kid to know that, you know, like I'm doing my best to be my best and I'm giving what I can to the rest of the world. And yeah, one day like.

Yeah, I want him to when he's here, I want him to know like my dad did everything he could to make the world a better place. ⁓ For my future partner, it's the same thing. ⁓ But yeah, I think it's just it's just the burden around me. And ⁓ seeing the people around me and just seeing that there's so many people that need to be helped. And I believe if you have the ability to help people, then you should. Yes, yes, yes.

Kimberly/terry (12:01)
We call that compassion. The ability to see

what's happening, but the compassion part is the desire and the willingness to do something about it. But don't think I didn't catch that he mentioned his future child was going to be a boy. A boy, I heard that too. I heard that. I heard that too.

Isaiah Bull (12:13)
Right.

Oh yeah, oh yeah,

yeah, definitely, definitely. I mean, we'll see, we'll see. I mean, if I have a daughter as well, same thing. But yeah, you know, like I want to be a good example. And so that's part of the inspiration. And then yeah, just seeing a lot around me and just knowing that I could make a difference. So that's what leaders do, you know. They help empower those around them and they make other leaders.

Kimberly/terry (12:47)
That's right. Absolutely. Some leaders create followers and other leaders create more leaders. leaders. That's what we do. Love it. Excellent. So some people, I don't know, some people think, I get the impression, at least over the years, that ⁓ being a fitness instructor, you got it easy. ⁓ yeah. You have such an easy job.

Isaiah Bull (12:48)
Yeah.

That's right. That's right.

Mmmmm

Kimberly/terry (13:12)
All you all you get to do is work out all the time. You get to work out for a living isn't that cool? So contrary to that. Yeah, we do know better. It isn't always easy. For you, Isaiah, what's been your biggest challenge? And how do you overcome it as a fitness professional?

Isaiah Bull (13:17)
Mmm.

Right.

would you say like specifically or like, ⁓ just in general, like as being like a fitness professional.

Kimberly/terry (13:38)
For you specifically, what's the biggest challenges you've encountered so far?

Isaiah Bull (13:42)
The biggest challenge

by far so, okay, last November I tore my pack, doing a Spartan race. ⁓ And yeah, like from then till now, it's been a really hard year. ⁓ I think because I'm so involved with fitness and I have so much identity in fitness, I felt like a part of my identity was gone. ⁓ Not being able to do the things that like, you know, I always do. ⁓ yeah, it was a very humbling experience.

⁓ I knew I was going to make it through. ⁓ I just knew that it was going to be really, really hard. And I think mentally that was probably the hardest thing for me. ⁓ yeah, you just, you lose a part of yourself and, ⁓ you go into like this, this dark, this dark place that you got to fight, you know? And I think that's, it's a blessing in disguise because I think that's where I really learned the true meaning of resilience. And it's not something you just do one day. It's every day, you know, and everybody has their fight. That's the thing is everybody's fighting something.

⁓ and so yeah, that experience was life-changing for me, but I think it was probably one of the biggest, ⁓ catalyst to me becoming who I am today. ⁓ great for character building, but yeah, so I think just going through that process, you know, after I tore my pack, ⁓ I got misdiagnosed and so I ended up not getting surgery until February. So that was really hard. So I felt like I wasted five months. ⁓ and then.

Kimberly/terry (14:52)
All

Isaiah Bull (15:10)
Yeah, going back into February to get surgery, had to restart again. And then also like, you know, my job at LiveTimes, I wasn't there. So it made it a lot. just, was a lot, you know, was like, dude, I'm at like everything, my whole schedule just changed. But like I said, I'm very grateful. I wouldn't, I wouldn't. Amazing. Amazing. I think that's an experience that I think, not saying that you should, everyone should tear their peck, but I think experiences like that.

Kimberly/terry (15:27)
And how are you feeling now? Good.

I

should do it.

Isaiah Bull (15:37)
they change your life, you know, and

you also makes you grateful. You you realize how fast you could lose everything and there's a, there's an element of humility that it adds to your life. And so it's by far been the hardest experience I've had thus far, but also the best experience. And I'm super, I'm so excited to come back and just to be where I am today. But yeah, that was by far like hardest as far as fitness wise, that's the hardest thing I've ever dealt with. ⁓

Kimberly/terry (15:42)
Mm-hmm.

No

doubt.

Isaiah Bull (16:07)
Yeah, but we're here. We're freaking here. So let's go. yeah. ⁓ yeah. yeah.

Kimberly/terry (16:08)
Yeah, yeah Get ready to start teaching again with a whole new level of appreciation. Mm-hmm. What you get to do Yeah, it definitely

I love love your outlook Isaiah, you know because a lot of people can look at an injury as as ⁓ As nothing but a challenge and focus on all the negative like what if I can't come back and what if I can't be as strong as I was before and what if I can't I can't I can't But you know when you're looking at it from a different perspective through a different lens ⁓ Looking at it being a blessing as a learning

Isaiah Bull (16:29)
Right. Right.

Kimberly/terry (16:38)
opportunity ⁓ with the attitude that you have that made that made a huge huge difference and yeah, you're definitely going to appreciate your comeback I think even that much more and probably be more mindful when I think in addition to that, you know with your mission being one of compassion, being able to see others that are struggling and help them through that struggle. You're now going to have a whole nother perspective to draw from like what if what if

Isaiah Bull (16:49)
Right. Right.

Right.

Mm-hmm.

Right.

Kimberly/terry (17:04)
you know,

come to you or community comes to you and they're dealing with an injury or post injury unit. You now can kind of walk in their shoes emotionally and help guide them to the other side.

Isaiah Bull (17:13)
Right. That's so good. That's so good.

I love how you said that too, because I'm a firm believer in that. That's why I think bad things are very necessary for us. Like things have to happen to you because you're credible through what you walk through. Right. So it's like, it's, for that very reason why I think something like that happens to me. So that, that way, when I do meet someone who's going through the same thing, I can empathize and I could say, Hey, I know exactly what you're dealing with. Let me help you. Right. And so, ⁓ that's part of just being proven by the fire and we all have to go through that.

Kimberly/terry (17:26)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Isaiah Bull (17:43)
And so yeah, that's, I love that. I love that you said that.

Kimberly/terry (17:47)
All right, so we have another question for you. If you think ahead, just like fast forward 20 years, because we want to talk legacy. And I'm sure this is something, I mean, you've already talked about like your future partner, your future children. Her son. His son, specifically his son, yes. So what impact do you hope that your fitness career leaves behind? Like, what do you hope your clients or participants will say about the experiences that you provide?

Isaiah Bull (17:50)
Yeah, let's do it.

Mmm.

You

You know, I hope that they say one that I empowered them, ⁓ I impacted them, and I inspired them to become the best version of themselves. And I don't mean that like in a cliche way. mean like, really like, I want people to look at me and be like, dang dude, like my life is so much better because I experienced Isaiah, you know? ⁓

And yeah, like I think, you know, impact is the greatest thing that you could leave here. Like people will always remember how you make them feel. ⁓ and so, yeah, that's the thing. Like, just want people to go, whatever it is that like you're afraid to go for, go for it. Like I want to be kind of like that pillar of, of, of like that, like, you know, shows people that you could do with anything you put your mind to. You can overcome anything that comes your way. ⁓ you know, it's like you, you can, anything that is you can do, like it's the only thing that is keeping you from.

Kimberly/terry (18:45)
Mm-hmm.

Isaiah Bull (19:09)
being where you want to be or getting the things you want is yourself. And it's a lot of these stupid lies that are just, they're so false and they're so easy to kill and you just got to keep taking steps forward. But yeah, like ultimately for me, I just want people to know that, or I want them to say that I made their lives a lot better and ⁓ they're much better now because they met me and now they're helping the people around them as well. ⁓

Kimberly/terry (19:34)
Yeah, there you go.

Isaiah Bull (19:36)
And yeah, I just want to leave a crazy good impact and I hope it lasts forever.

Kimberly/terry (19:41)
Love it. Well, because people tend to pay it forward. I have no doubt that it will. For sure. Well, good stuff. the last question is about music. So you don't use music at all now. His music is bomb. So what is like, what is the top track or tracks that you love to play? And I can tell you that our listeners are going to be grabbing

Isaiah Bull (19:43)
Yeah.

Yeah. Let's go. ⁓

Dude, music, don't even get me started on music, guys. Dude, I'm all over.

Kimberly/terry (20:11)
Their pencils or something to write with something to write this down open their Spotify Spotify and add it to their playlist like right away So what would you say are the top couple tracks that you have to have on your playlist that fires you up that inspires you that gets you going that Makes you sweat perhaps. I don't know

Isaiah Bull (20:28)
Okay. So I got two answers here. So for me personally, when I'm training, this is going to be a curve ball. A lot of people don't expect this. ⁓ but when I train, actually love listening to Brazilian funk. ⁓ yes, yes. So it's love it.

Kimberly/terry (20:36)
Mm-hmm.

okay. Wow. Okay. Milo would have loved to hear that. So we another guest,

our friend Milo Lavelle, who's a very well known ⁓ dance instructor. ⁓ has a studio down in Brazil, Sao Paulo called Millennium, and he's heavy into Brazilian funk.

Isaiah Bull (20:51)
Okay.

Ooh, yeah. I

love that. Yeah, Brazilian funk when I'm training, I think it's just rhythm, you know? I'm a big rhythm guy, big sound guy, and the beat, and it just gets you going. ⁓ And yeah, it's just, I don't know. I can't explain it. I love it though. Like, all the time when I'm training, always listening to Brazilian. Yeah, because like, it's crazy. I never would have thought. it's actually really, I don't even understand what they're saying. Like, I don't speak Portuguese.

Kimberly/terry (21:03)
Yeah.

We can tell, look at your light up, we can talk about it.

Yeah, doesn't matter. It moves you. Music is universal. It is.

Isaiah Bull (21:24)
So it's like, I don't really, but I love it. exactly.

⁓ So that's for me when I train. But when I do my classes, I'm gonna just name drop a couple artists. I'm a big, like I love hip hop during classes. And that's what like, I feel like my class tends to like the most, just upbeat like mainstream hip hop. a lot of like Travis Scott, Future. Yeah, I guess a little bit of like Lil Uzi, I guess.

Kimberly/terry (21:43)
Mm-hmm.

Isaiah Bull (21:53)
But like a lot of the mainstream like hip hop stuff every now and then a little bit of R &B.

Kimberly/terry (21:57)
So, so, so nothing that old

ladies in their fifties were listening to. Hey, hey, I played Travis Scott in my psycho class this morning. Travis was on my cycle list today and they loved it. Loved it.

Isaiah Bull (22:01)
Dude, the old, you, hey, I was gonna say, you'd be surprised. The old ladies in their 50s get, they get down. They go crazy. They go crazy.

They love it. They love it.

Kimberly/terry (22:20)
I love it. That's awesome. Those are some some very good tips and directions as far as music. So I got to check out some Brazilian funk. ⁓ yeah. I think I might be missing the boat on that one. It'll move you. It'll groove you. Yeah.

Isaiah Bull (22:28)
Yes, yes, yes. Do it when

you like, if you guys like to run or any kind of conditioning, it kind of just keeps you like at a tempo. A Brazilian elephant. I was gonna say, I was like, don't even know if that's a thing.

Kimberly/terry (22:37)
Only, only if, only if a Brazilian elephant is chasing me. I don't know if that exists. that happen?

You both were just like a Brazilian elephant. I don't even know why I said that, but. That's all right. We have to leave. But if by the grace of God, a Brazilian elephant were to show up and start chasing me, then I would run. Okay.

Isaiah Bull (22:58)
We can edit that, we can edit that.

So you

don't like running at all? Okay. Okay, that's good. Hiking's hard. Hiking's hard. Then I like running, right, right, right. Should have thought about it, I forgot. You guys are funny. Yeah.

Kimberly/terry (23:07)
Not a runner. I will hike all day long. But ⁓ yeah. You know, us older older ladies, don't our joints don't take to the running as well. They're brittle. She's got brittle bones. ⁓

That's right. I'll teach some kickboxing, running? no one's business. No,

goodness no. I love it.

Isaiah Bull (23:31)
Kickboxing,

that's where it's at too.

Kimberly/terry (23:33)
So Isaiah, is there anything else that you'd want to share? Any other nuggets or messages that you'd just like to share to our listeners before we wrap up our conversation today?

Isaiah Bull (23:44)
Yeah. ⁓ last thing I would say is just go for it. Whatever it is, go for it. ⁓ whether it's fitness related business, anything, go for it. ⁓ you know, I think about this a lot and you know, it's a little morbid, but we're going to die anyways. And I think as, as I get older, I start to realize like, dude, this is, this is your life. People don't really care. You know, most people are focused on themselves. ⁓ and you don't want to get to the end of your life and think what if.

So even if you suck at something or if you feel like, it's too late or, know, I never, I never was really go for it. Like who cares? You know, ⁓ you'll be, you'll feel a lot better about yourself. And at end of the day, you know, it's, ⁓ this is your life, you know? And so, you choose and you do what makes you happy. And I think that's just one thing I would, I would leave with everybody is who cares what everybody else thinks, just whatever it is that whatever you have a desire for it, go for it. and yeah.

Kimberly/terry (24:37)
for it.

Isaiah Bull (24:39)
There's always a way for you. There's enough for all of us to eat and I believe God will always make a way for you. find something that you're passionate about. Even if you're not good at it, you just keep working, keep working, keep working, keep learning and you're going to get to wherever it is that you want to be. ⁓ And yeah.

Kimberly/terry (24:58)
Have you ever seen the YouTube video by Prince E called Everybody Dies But Not Everybody Lives? I will send you, I'll send you a link to it. It was a game changer for me. It's so powerful. It was good.

Isaiah Bull (25:05)
Ooh, that's good.

I like that. That's

heavy. I had this thought kind of come to me yesterday and I was driving and it was kind of similar to that. was like, it was like, just came to me like, you know, lot of people I feel like are surviving, but they're not living. You know, like a lot of people were taught how to survive, but we're not taught how to actually live. You know, like how many people really enjoy their lives and really wake up every day and say, I love what I do.

Kimberly/terry (25:22)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Man.

Isaiah Bull (25:34)
You know, and it's, we miss that a lot, you know, but we know how to survive. We know how to make it by each day, but it's not enjoyable. ⁓ So that's another thing. Like I think that's also something that I want to break ⁓ somehow, you know, is I think your passion and your purpose should come before everything else. You know, the money, everything, it's going to come. Find something that you're passionate about. Find something that you're really good at and that you could contribute to society and do that.

Kimberly/terry (25:55)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Isaiah Bull (26:02)
